14. After heating, allow the container to stand
in the microwave oven for a short time
before removing the container.
15. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon
or other utensil into the container.
16. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is
difficult to control the temperature of oil in
microwave oven.
17. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as
potatoes, whole squash, apples and
chestnuts before cooking.
18. The contents of feeding bottles and baby
jars should be stirred or shaken and the

the cavity or on the door. If there is any
damage, do not operate the oven and
contact your dealer.
See Installation Instruction for more details.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
WARNING--- Improper use of the
grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood
or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt
60 Hz, AC only, 20 amp. It is
recommended that a separate circuit
serving only the oven be provided. The
oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding
plug. It must be plugged into a wall
receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded.
Power Supply Cord
1. A short power supply cord is provided
to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
3. If long cord or extension cord is used：
a) The marked electrical rating of the cord
set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
b) The extension cord must be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and The longer
cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or table top
where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
Notes:
If you have any questions about the
grounding or electrical instructions, consult a
qualified electrician or service person.
Neither RCA nor the dealer can accept any
liability for damage to the oven or personal
injury resulting from failure to observe the
electrical connection procedures.
RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE
Should there be any interference caused by
the microwave oven to your radio or TV,
check that the microwave oven is on a
different circuit, relocate the radio or TV as
far away from the oven as feasible or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.
5
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR OVEN
NEVER
use the oven without the turntable
and support nor turn the turntable over so
that a large dish could be placed in the
oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise
and anticlockwise.
The shelf gives you the option to reheat
more than one dish of food at the same
time. To reheat on 2 levels:
·Switch places after ½ the time.
·Make sure the shelf is positioned properly
inside the microwave to prevent damage to
the oven from arcing.
·Do not use a microwave browning dish on
the shelf. The shelf could overheat.
·Do not use the oven with the shelf on the
microwave floor. This could damage the
microwave.
·Use pot holders when handling the shelf-it
may be hot.
·Do not use the shelf when cooking popcorn.
ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is
on to absorb the microwave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below
100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling
on and off.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave
cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in
food will influence the amount of moisture
that condenses in the oven. Generally,
covered foods will not cause as much
condensation as uncovered ones.
Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
In using recipes or package directions,
check food a minute or two before the
minimum time and add time accordingly.
6
ABOUT FOOD
FOOD DO DON’T
Eggs,
sausages,
fruits &
vegetable
· Puncture egg yolks before cooking to
prevent “explosion”.
·Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot
dogs and sausages so that steam escapes.
·Cook egg in shells.
·Reheat whole eggs.
Popcorn
· Use specially bagged popcorn for the
microwave oven.
·Listen while popping corn for the popping to
slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special
Popcorn pad.
·
Pop popcorn in regular brown bags
or
glass bowls.
·Exceed maximum time on popcorn
package.
Baby food
·Transfer baby food to small dish and heat
carefully, stirring often. Check temperature
before serving.
·Put nipples on bottles after heating and
shake thoroughly. “Wrist” test before
feeding.
·Heat disposable bottles.
·Heat bottles with nipples on.
·Heat baby food in original jars.
General
·Cut baked goods with filling after heating to
release steam and avoid burns.
·Stir liquids briskly before and after heating to
avoid “eruption”.
·Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or
cereals, to prevent boilovers.
·Heat or cook in closed glass jars or
airtight containers.
·Can in the microwave as harmful
bacteria may not be destroyed.
·Deep fat fry.
·Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet
papers.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas
towards outside of dish.
·
Watch cooking time. Cook for the
shortest
amount of time indicated and
add more as needed. Food severely
overcooked can smoke or ignite.
·Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or
cookbook for suggestions: paper towels,
wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a
lid. Covers prevent spattering and help
foods to cook evenly.
·Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum
foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to
prevent overcooking before dense, thick
areas are cooked thoroughly.
·Stir foods from outside to center of dish
once or twice during cooking, if possible.
·
Turn foods over once during microwaving to
speed
cooking of such foods as chicken
and hamburgers. Large items like roasts
must be turned over at least once.
·Rearrange foods such as meatballs
halfway through cooking both from top to
bottom and from the center of the dish to
the outside.
·Add standing time. Remove food from oven
and stir, if possible. Cover for standing
time that allows the food to finish cooking
without overcooking.
·Check for doneness. Look for signs
indicating that cooking temperatures
have
been reached.
Doneness signs include:
-Food steams throughout, not just at
edge.
-Center bottom of dish is very hot to the
touch.
-Poultry thigh joins move easily.
-Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
-Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a
fork.
7
ABOUT SENSOR COOKING
·The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.
· Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use
tight sealing plastic containers — they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
·Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before
placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
·Do not use this feature twice in succession on the same food portion — it may result in severely
overcooked or burnt food.
ABOUT SAFETY
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the following recommended temperatures.
TEMP FOOD
160℉
...for fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and
frozen prepared food.
165℉
…for leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out “fresh” food.
170℉
…white meat of poultry.
180℉
…dark meat of poultry.
·To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat of bone.
NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave
oven use.
·ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
·Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of
a dish’s covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.
·Stay near the oven while it’s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no
chance of overcooking food.
·NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
·Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of food
borne bacteria.
·Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.
·Use care when removing items from the oven so that utensil, your clothes or accessories do not
touch the safety door latches.
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware.
Many pieces already in your kitchen can be
used successfully in your new microwave oven.
Make sure the utensil does not touch the
interior walls during cooking.
8
Use these utensils for safe microwave
cooking and reheating
·glass ceramic
·heat-resistant glass
·microwave-safe plastics
·paper plates
·microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and
porcelain
·browning dish
These items can be used for short time
reheating of foods that have little fat or
sugar in them:
·wood, straw, wicker
DO NOT USE
·metal pans and bake ware
·dishes with metallic trim
·non-heat-resistant glass
·non-microwave-safe plastic
·recycled paper bags
·food storage bags
·metal twist-ties
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for
microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven
and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish
which becomes very hot should not be used.
The following coverings are ideal:
·Paper towels are good for covering foods for
reheating and absorbing fat while cooking
bacon.
·Wax paper can be used for cooking and
reheating.
·Plastic wrap that is specially marked for
microwave use can be used for cooking and
reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to
touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
·Lids that are microwave-safe are a good
choice because heat is kept near the food
to hasten cooking.
·Oven cooking bags are good for large meats
or foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT
use metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag
so steam can escape.
How to use aluminum foil in your
microwave oven:
·Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed
smoothly on the food can be used to shield
areas that are either defrosting or cooking
too quickly.
· Foil should not come closer than one inch to
any surface of the oven.
ACCESSORIES
There are many microwave accessories
available for purchase. Evaluate carefully
before you purchase so that they meet your
needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will
assist you in determining correct doneness and
assure you that foods have been cooked to
safe temperatures. RCA is not responsible for
any damage to the oven when accessories are
used.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising person very near to
them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.
The children must be able to reach the oven comfortably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy
stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the oven door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions; use potholders, remove coverings carefully and
pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy.

CLEAR AND CARE
Exterior
The outside surface is precoated steel and
plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and
water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not
use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.
Door
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp
cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal
parts will be easier to maintain if wiped
frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of
spray and other harsh cleaners as they may
stain, streak or dull the door surface.
Touch Control Panel
C
are should be taken in cleaning the touch
control panel. If the control panel becomes
soiled, open the oven door before cleaning.
Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly
with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not
scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners.
Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little heat is
generated to the interior surfaces; therefore,
there is no baking and setting of spills or
spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe
with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR
SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use
baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly
with hot water.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling
in the oven cavity. It is made from mica so
requires special care. Keep the waveguide
cover clean to assure good oven performance.
Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food
spatters from the surface of the cover
immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes
may overheat and cause smoke or possibly
16
catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE
WAVEGUIDE COVER.
Odor Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the
oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated
peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole
cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for
several minutes using 100% power. Allow to
set in oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft
cloth.
Turntable/Turntable Support
The turntable and turntable support can be
removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild,
sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild
cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge as
described above. They are also
dishwasher-proof. Use upper rack of
dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not
sealed, so excess water or spills should be
wiped up immediately.
Grease Filters
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month.
Never operate the fan or oven without the filters
in place.
Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of
the oven and remove the filter. Repeat for the
other filter.
Soak the filter in a sink or dish pan filled with
hot water and detergent. DO NOT use
ammonia or other alkali; they will react with the
filter material and darken it.
Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove
embedded dirt.
Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
Replace by fitting the filter back into the
opening.
Light
1. To replace light bulbs, first disconnect power
to the oven at the circuit breaker panel or by
unplugging.
2. To release cover, remove the screw on the

WATTS.
Close light cover and secure with screw
removed in step 2.
CAUTION: Light cover may become very hot.
Do not touch glass when light is on.
Charcoal Filter
Charcoal filter is used for nonvented,
recirculated installation. The filter should be
changed every 6 to 12 months depending on
use.
1. Disconnect power to the oven at the circuit
breaker panel or by unplugging.
2. Remove the louver mounting screw from the
top center of the louver and push down

NOTE: I
f you need to install ducts, note that the total
duct length of 3¼" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter
round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST
DUCT. Read the following carefully.
NOTE: It is important that venting be installed using
the most direct route and with as few elbows as
possible. This ensures clear venting of exhaust and
helps prevent blockages. Also, make sure dampers
swing freely and nothing is blocking the ducts.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaus
t has been designed to mate with a
standard 3¼" x 10" rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less
than a 6" diameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of
3¼" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct
should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roof
caps, etc.,
present additional resistance to
airflow and are equivalent to a section of straight duct
which is longer than their actual physical size. When
calculating the total duct length, add the equivalent
lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus the length
of all s
traight duct sections. The chart below shows
you how to calculate total equivalent ductwork length
using the approximate feet of equivalent length of
some typical ducts.
* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-
round transition adaptor is used, the
bottom corners of the damper will
have to be cut to fit, using the tin
snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual
tests and reflect requirements for good venting
performance with any vent hood.
